hinterglem Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 One of my pekins came out of the hen house with a big lump of poo on her back this morning. I tried wiping it off, but just ended up spreading it. How can I get her clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindafw Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I would bath her in a bucket with mild baby shampoo or a tiny bit of washing up liquid.. towel dry and blow dry with your hairdryer if its cold outside! What do others think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzboy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I got the same problem with my old english game but it is all hard around her bum guess she will have to go in the sink for a bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinterglem Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks - I gave her a bath. The first thing she did when I put her in the water was duck her head under! I washed her with soapy water, then rinsed her with fresh water with a little drop of vinegar in (helps neutralise the alkaline soap apparently), then towel dried her. Overall she was very good, but she didn't like the hair dryer. It is fairly sunny today so I'll let her dry out naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinterglem Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Is that a very large bowl or a very small chicken? It's the largest of our 3 very small chickens! She's a pekin bantam, about 3 months old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
